Would anybody over there please let me know where I can buy history books pertaining to Tamils of Sri-Lanka?I obtained 'The Mahavamsa', 'The Chulavamsa' and also 'The Dipavamsa' that depicts the history of Sinhala people only. Those books, as can be expected, always depicts Cholas or Tamils as invaders, I think because they were written by Sinhalese authors. Are there any History books written by ancient Sri Lankan Tamil scholars before the arrival of Portuguese in 1505? I would like to know how they have percieved the numerous battles and wars; explained in detail in Mahavamsa; between the Sinhala people and the Tamil King Elara the greate. Thanks in advance. |

Hello Thomas Rande,We Tamils are the only most oppressed people in the whole world beside the Black People of South Africa. Like the apatheid in South Africa, Tamil People of Tamil Eelam have been experiencing the most most horrific "Sinhayatheid" in the hand of the most discusting (DISG)RACE in the world, the sons of the great Buddha, the Nasty Sinhala People of Shri Lanka. We have been(still Today) oppressed, colonized(The Tigers have stopped the illegal colonizations now), supressed under censorships for the past 52 years. The Sinhala Shri Lanka celebrated her Jubilee Independent Celebrations about two years ago. But for us Tamils, the experiences of this independent has been nothing but the horrific stories, first 25 yrs in the hand of Sinhala Racist politicians and sinhala people them selves and the next 25 yrs in the hands of Sinhala Rapists Armies. We fought with these people 25 yrs very peacefully for our rights, we got back nothing but State Sponsored Riots and more oppressions. The next 25 years we have been forced to fight with these people with GUNS just so you future Tamil Generations can live with "BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS IN TAMIL EELAM" which you are enjoying where ever you are living right now... THE BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS YOU PARENTS WERE DENIED IN THEIR HOME LAND, TAMIL EELAM. The Sinhala people are not worthy of TRUST. The meaning of TRUST is not in their dictionary(Mahawamsa), therefore, don't waste your time trying to find the TRUTH in their Mahawamsa. Mahawamsa is for Sinhala Racists by Sinhala Racists. Sinhala people of Sri Lanka has a long history of TEARING OFF their own signed accords with Tamils. Therefore, WE TAMILS WILL NOT SIGN ANY ACCORD WITH THEM AT ALL. All any future agreements will be signed infront of United Nations and world community at GENEVÉ. And the TAMILS of TAMILS EELAM WILL NEVER LAY DOWN THEIR ARMS. THE TIGERS AND THEIR ARMS ARE THE ONE GOING TO BE OUR PROTECTION IN TAMIL EELAM FOR YOUR GENERATIONS AND YOUR CHILDREN'S GENERATIONS as well.

Missed the point as usual Ranjan.Thomas wants books that were written by the TAMIL's (Note: not ltte) BEFORE 1505. If Sinhalese are racists would they allow you to post your propaganda on their website? |

eelam2000 are you dyslexic? Thats not quite what he said.He is suggesting to you that your constant accusations of racism are unfounded evidenced by your being allowed to post terrabytes of propaganda on a site which is I assume funded by Sinhalese or at least a loyal Sri Lankan. Try reading it again. [This message has been edited by byzant (edited July 10, 2000).] |

Thomas ... a lot of the websites that Ranjan the LTTE Propaganda King has directed you to do not contain any pertinent information of the type that you seek. This is because these are all LTTE propaganda websites and as a result any historical documents contained within have been modified (sometimes extensively) to ensure that they fit the fake LTTE version of Tamil history that they have been trying to put forward to justify their terrorism.If you were to use information from these sites you would be advised to cross check all information extensively with another source to ensure that you are not being led up the garden path - so to speak. |

Thanks all for your replies, though I have to say that this is not really what I expected. I checked some of the websites quoted in Ranjan's reply and found many valuable information. I am still looking for 'ancient'history books written by Sri Lankan Tamils. There definitely should be some books about the wars with Sinhalese, that Sinhalese books describes in so much detail. I kindly request the administrator to shut down this topic because this seems to turn ugly. Please e-mail any further information to 'trande@yahoo.com'. Thanks again and have a nice day.

I see the boys with the lovely turn of phrase are here. Old faithful infolanka with his stupidity and dirty mouth. At least he poses the question 'what am I doing here?' but does he really expect any of you to tell him? Because if any of you can tell him, I would also like to know as it is a question which has puzzled mankind in general and myself in particular for a long time. Does Infolanka have the answer and is he going to step out from under his Bodhi tree and enlighten us all with this information. IMHO I am here to make sure that the voice of moderation and peace is heard. I am here to make certain that terrorism doesnt assume that it has my support by my silence. I am here to make sure that you have someone watching the ranjans and chums and countering the cut and paste blitzes. I am here so you say thanka, just for you you infoskanker, who doesnt reside in Sri Lanka, and unlike you is not a w*n*er, so go get flattened by a tanker and peace might come back to Sri Lanka Tamil Tiggers. A tale of Christopher Robin. Early one spring morning Winnie the Pooh was wandering down near the river in the hope of finding a jar of honey that he thought he might have lost. Oh bother he said as he came across another Landmine laid by the Tamil Tigger who had plagued winnie and Eeyore with his suicide bombings. He skirted gingerly round while humming a little tune. 'How I hate this bloody war. whats the murder all been for? wish I could find a bloody door, to get me out of here.' 'where's praba taken my big brother my dad, my uncle and my mother and each and every walking other who lived in our village.' 'Bugger' exclaimed Pooh as his fat little bum caused him to overbalance and fall over backwards onto the mine ' curse war and all its proponents for the suffering caused to innocents like me by evil men'he said just before he was blown into a nicer world to await Gods vengeance on his murderers, a land where honey was wherever Pooh wanted it to be, piglet was never bacon and people like praba the magnificent had no place of abode. Even Eeyore had to smile, or was it a grimace?
